Interesting. Don't see where cratering bean prices have pulled down the price of trendy brands like StarBucks, tho I have seen Starbucks discounted when on sale. I drink my coffee black, and I'm perfectly happy drinking legacy U.S. brands like Chase and Sanborn or Maxwell House. Grandma was a Maxwell House drinker, mom and dad leaned to Chase and Sanborn. And when I open those brands up, I swear I can recall the same aromas from when I was a kid. Maybe it's all in my mind, but opening a bag of the newer, trendy stuff brings no such rush of nostalgia.
